      This guy is awsome! He decided to reconstruct the city centre of the ancient Rome. Have a look at this thread here from the "Old Forums"!

          A few months back I donated a couple of structures to Pedro's project: the Forum of Trajan and the Markets of Trajan, which happen to have been my very first SketchUp project with SU version 1. Interestingly enough, I was contacted today through the nearly defunct Google SketchUp Pro User Forums by a classical historian at Oxford who is hoping to use Pedro's and my models to help him with an article on the Trajanic monuments. I gave Matthew Nicholls, the historian, the contact emails I had for Pedro (which seem to be out of date).

          Anyway, if you're reading this, Pedro, and you haven't heard from Matthew, drop me a personal message so I can put you in touch with him.

            It's interesting how many people turn to Roman stuff. One of my early projects was the Baalbek complex in Syria. Here's a WIP off the old forum.

              Well, I "need" to deal with stuff like this "by profession" - like this one:

              So I'm always interested in stuff like this and Pedro's work has just impressed me big time!

              BTW the Baalbek one is also really nice - though haven't "tried" to reconstruct anything of it, I used to deal with it when I taught art history.

                Talent like this makes me sick - stop it immediately! 😉

                LOL - absolutely fantastic guys.

                I love 3D historical reconstructions - especially of the ancient world when only ruins remain (or sometimes nothing at all). I love history and I think 3D forensic architecture like this really brings the subject to life...

                Funnily enough, one of the reasons I got into SketchUp is I had the idea to re-create our local castle. The castle is a partial ruin (destroyed during the English Civil war), and every time I visited I would think 'I wonder what it looked like inside when it was complete?'

                I am just about at the level of SketchUp skill where I think I can do this project justice - it's taken me a while to get here, so I REALLY admire work on teh ancient Rome project.

                Kudos to you guys!

                oh - and PS - Lewis, did you used to play keyboard for a 70s British band called 'Sparks'? 😉

                  I hope not. I'm almost certain I would remember that.

                    Pretty darn nice work.

                    I wonder how long it took him to build it. 😆 That was a joke.
